The officers and men of the special operations detachment, tank company, tank company, combat vehicle company, and air defense company of the composite unit warmly shook hands and hugged the officers and men of the 6th Company; the officers and men of the older generation and the new generation of officers and men of the 20 th Army met and got to know each other on this special occasion, and faced the wind and rain together. The officers and men of the 6th Company of the Volunteer Army immediately got into tanks, combat vehicles, and anti-aircraft missile vehicles (mainly hitchhiking outside the vehicles) and returned to Liutanli with the composite troops (at 3 p.m., the commander of the 6th Company reported to the headquarters of the 59th Division through walkie-talkies that the US artillery positions had been destroyed......

After Zhao Kailai led the second group of combat troops and the 6th company to return to Liutanli, Li Weiguo led the first group to complete the combat mission and join the 9th company of the 266th Regiment of the 89th Division of the Volunteer Army; Li Weiguo and Zhao Kailai claimed that they were a composite force composed of tank companies, tank companies, air defense companies, support companies, and reconnaissance companies sent by the Zhisi (Volunteer Army Headquarters) to reinforce the 9th Corps, Li Weiguo was the chief of staff of the guard regiment, and Zhao Kailai was the instructor of the first battalion of the guard regiment; After the two guided the synthetic troops to complete the concealment and camouflage, they came to the military headquarters of the 89th Army under the leadership of the commander and political commissar of the 266th Regiment of the 20th Division. At this time, the commander and political commissar of the 20th Army of the 20th Army of the Chinese People's Volunteer Army, the commander and political commissar of the 59th and 89th divisions of the 20th Army, and the commander and political commissar of the 79th Division of the 27th Army were meeting to study the attack plan for the evening; "Report to the chief, Li Weiguo, chief of staff of the Zhisi Guard Regiment, and Zhao Kailai, the instructor of the first battalion, led the synthetic battalion to report! Please instruct! Li Weiguo and Zhao Kailai's standard PLA military posture and military salute reassured all the military division leaders.

"I heard from the officers and men of the 6th Company and the three heights in the afternoon that you knocked out more than a dozen enemy tanks and armored vehicles, did you have any casualties?" The commander of the 59th Division asked, "Report to the chief, we have been engaged in the battle since 10 a.m., and have destroyed a total of 16 American tanks and 18 American armored vehicles in three places; cooperated with brother troops to destroy 24 US artillery, alone destroyed 150 enemies, captured 2 people, and cooperated with brother troops to destroy more than 800 enemies; At about 11 o'clock in the morning, the air defense company shot down 67 enemy planes one after another, and the composite detachment suffered no casualties, and the report was completed! "Great! Tonight, our certainty that the US troops in Liutan will launch a general offensive has greatly increased! You couldn't have come at a better time! "The political commissar of the 20 Army said happily;" No wonder I didn't see the US planes in the afternoon, you have done a great job," said the commander of the 59th Division.

"Comrades, now we will focus on the general offensive at night," the commander of the 20th Army emphasized, "and the addition of tank and tank companies has strengthened us, and our general offensive tonight can strive for the total annihilation of the American troops in Liutan." The political commissar of the 20th Army continued to emphasize;" Your tank troops talk about their own views," the commander of the 59th Division looked at Li Weiguo and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, the US army mainly relied on tanks and artillery to set up defensive lines on the periphery on the night of the 27th and 28th, and used its firepower superiority to stop our army's attack; Now that the U.S. military knows that we have increased tanks and combat vehicles, I judge that the U.S. military will have to increase a large number of anti-tank artillery in the frontal defense line of Liutanli tonight; As is the usual practice for the U.S. military, they will set up three lines of defense on the front against our tanks, and their artillery will try to separate our tank troops from the infantry; Li Weiguo said; Moreover, the US military will lay anti-tank mines in the front to prevent our tanks from attacking from the front, and judging from the terrain of Liutanli, our tank units can only attack from the frontal attack of Liutanli. Zhao Kailai added.

"Even if the enemy lays mines, it is not a big problem, we first arrange for the engineer company to clear the mines; I think we should prepare a regiment in advance to block the American reinforcements from Xiajieyuli, and once we launch a general offensive and the American army is in decline, the American troops in Xiajieyu will definitely come to reinforce it; The U.S. military will not easily accept the outcome of more than 8,000 people being wiped out by our army in one place. "The commander of the 89th Division expressed his opinion." Between the 5th and 7th regiments of the American Army there was an open field and two small heights, from which I suggested that we could break through before a frontal attack; cut off the connection between the 5th and 7th regiments of the US army, first concentrate on eliminating more than 5,000 people of the 5th regiment of the US army, and then concentrate on eliminating the 7th regiment of the US army; That way, tonight is a little bit more certain. The commander of the 27th Division of the 79th Army said. We also want to tell the 80th and 81st Divisions of the 27th Army that they must complete the encirclement of the American forces in Xinxingli tonight, and prevent the enemy from risking a breakthrough to reinforce Liutanli tonight and during the day tomorrow; My opinion is that on the night of the 30th, the 80th and 81st divisions of the 27th Army launched a general attack on Xinxingli and completely wiped out the American regiment in Xinxingli! The political commissar of the 20 Army added......

After an hour of discussion, everyone finally made the following decision: "1. At 8 o'clock in the evening, the composite detachment sent 2 tanks and 2 combat vehicles to cooperate with the 176th Regiment of the 59th Division of the 20th Army to attack the junction of the 5th and 7th Regiments of the US Army, separating the 5th and 7th Regiments of the US Army; Then tanks and combat vehicles cooperate with the 176th Regiment to complete the task of blocking the reinforcements of the US 7th Regiment and the US 5th Regiment breaking through from the junction. 2. The 237th Regiment of the 79th Division of the 27th Army, two tanks and two combat vehicles formed a blocking force and rushed to a mountain col between Liutanli and Xiajieyuli (here is the only way for the US army to reinforce Liutanli); Resolutely block the US reinforcements until the end of the siege and annihilation of Liutanli. 3. The main attack force was composed of six tanks and six combat vehicles and three regiments of the 89th Division and two regiments of the 59th Division, and the general attack began at 9 p.m.; With tanks and combat vehicles as the assault force, the infantry cooperated to break through the US defense line and complete the encirclement of the US 5th Regiment, and finally annihilated the US 5th Regiment; After destroying the 5th US Regiment, the US 7th Regiment was attacked and annihilated. 4. Other units held the commanding heights to prevent the US troops from breaking through, and at the same time, the three divisional guard battalions carried out feints on the three heights controlled by the US forces to ensure the safety of the flanks of the attacking troops; The army guard battalion served as a reserve. The engineer company began demining the front at 8 p.m. and had to complete it within an hour. "After the deployment of the mission, the various departments of the Volunteer Army and the composite units began intensive preparations......

While the 20th Army of the Chinese Volunteers was discussing the plan for the general attack in the evening, the headquarters of the 1st Marine Division of the US Army discussed the changes in the battle situation from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. on November 29. "Gentlemen, the situation in Liutanli is very bad right now, from 10 o'clock this morning until now, we have lost 67 aircraft and dozens of tanks and armored vehicles; It shows that the Chinese army in the Changjin Lake area has added a very terrible force; It is very likely that the Chinese will launch a general attack on our troops in Liutanli tonight with the cooperation of reinforced tank troops, and we must have 40 tanks and two main regiments ready to reinforce at any time; At the same time, the 5th and 7th regiments were reminded to prepare for a general attack by the Chinese. Smith, commander of the 1st Marine Division, emphasized and ordered. In the end, at Smith's insistence, the 1st Marine Division and the 7th U.S. Division each sent a regiment and 40 tanks to form an aid force, led by the deputy commander of the 1st Marine Division, ready to reinforce the Liutanli area when needed......

At the headquarters of the 5th Regiment of the 1st Marine Division, the regimental commander, Colonel Jamio, was arranging the defense for the night; "The battle situation from the morning to the present shows that the Chinese have increased a very terrible tank force and air defense units, our equipment losses are staggering, and now we have only 20 tanks left in the 5th regiment; Only 7 tanks remained in the 16 regiment. "The officers and soldiers who returned from the position said that the Chinese had large tanks, and everyone suspected that Soviet Russia provided heavy tanks." "Said the chief of staff of the 5th regiment;" I suspect that Soviet Russia this time supplied the Chinese with heavy tanks and anti-aircraft rockets that were being tested, and the number was not large; Soviet Russia's equipment is often not strong in night combat capabilities, tonight we set up four lines of defense on the front, just now the officers and soldiers who planted mines on the front said that the Chinese used mortars to shoot without planting a few mines; This shows that the focus of the Chinese attack tonight must be on the front. We set up four lines of defense tonight, the first line of defense is the concentrated use of anti-tank weapons such as bazookas and recoilless guns, and the four tanks cooperate. The second line of defense concentrated heavy machine guns and other firepower against the infantry rushing by the Chinese. The third line of defense, with 16 tanks behind the frontal earthen wall, is our killer feature; Once the first two lines of defense are lost, these 16 tanks can surprise and destroy the heavy tanks of the Chinese; Without heavy tank support, we have the ability to repel the Chinese attack. Put the remaining 8 105mm guns in the fourth line of defense, focusing on the infantry Chinese....... "Gemio deployed a defensive strategy for the night. “Yes Si

！ The officers of the 5th Regiment of the United States immediately began to lay out the four lines of defense......
